Recipe: Black-Eyed Peas and Rice

I love easy recipes.  One of my absolute favorite easy recipe is this Black-eyed Peas and Rice dish that I make for New Year's Day.

I don't just make this recipe on New Year's Day, I make it all year-long.  It is a very hardy dish and goes a long way when you want to feed a house full.

During the winter and fall months I make this dish for Meatless Mondays and serve it with a huge green salad with fresh from the oven bread sticks.

My family loves it, even my hubby who dislikes beans loves this dish.  I keep telling him that black-eyed peas are not legumes, they are from the shelled peas family.  Either way he is not a huge fan of tiny things that squish in your mouth.  But he likes this dish. :) In fact I hated Black Eyed Peas until I ate them cooked this way. Not sure where I found this recipe but I adapted it from one my friend Sandee use to make.
